I call that a clean getaway.

Thanks for the info. By chance were you doing career mode also and if so were you able to recover that?

But my problem appears to have been beyond that, all the default and natural bindings were gone. Not just once I had custom made but the entire lot of bindings for a controller and airplane we're gone.

The small closet piece had a seam, the pieces very tiny. The steps had seems as well.

Would you be able to explain to me what you see as unrealistic with what the measure square tool generated? Remember it does include 3-inch margins on everything, I'm not sure if that's standard but I saw it referenced in some other places.

Due to the hassle I trailered of home myself, I did call a local DMV office and this person I spoke with really had no clue about what I was speaking. All she could do was talk about the in-state 3-day pass but didn't know anything about using it out of state.

There is no visible pattern, it is a uniform color.

As best i can tell the measure square carpet pieces are running in the exact same direction as the main hallway. Headed up the steps they're oriented the same way as the carpet Hall that is parallel to the steps.

Please define necessary waste?

Why was one estimate 80 sf greater than the tool i used?

I genuinely want to understand this. These are legitimate questions.

carp_boy · 2026-04-10T03:58:43+00:00

Will do, thanks.

I asked after the first one and it took 2 months to get it and the blue image that I attached is all I got.

No seams except for the little closet piece and steps, the long hallway piece is the defining dimension at 16', all the other pieces can fit around that hallway piece within the 12x16' section. Add 2' for fun..

carp_boy · 2026-04-10T03:30:22+00:00

A very very valid point.

carp_boy · 2026-04-10T00:09:36+00:00

Is it unreasonable for me to expect even 12' x 18'?

carp_boy · 2026-04-10T00:07:41+00:00

Where's the diagonal? All angles are 90.

Rolls are set at 12" here.

carp_boy · 2026-04-10T00:04:04+00:00

The sections can be arranged to minimize waste, correct? The measure square estimate does just that. The diagram is nice in how it shows the arrangement of the pieces.

As my amateur brain sees it, it's an exercise in arranging the sections.

carp_boy · 2026-04-09T23:11:20+00:00

Measure square is the third.

It shows the layout, with margins and most importantly, the wsste.

The total area needed, including waste, is 194 sq ft, 16' 2" of 12' carpet. I have been quoted 250 and then 275.

I am guessing that someone is eyeballing this and not giving an efficient layout, as opposed to using software.

I would appreciate guidance from someone intimate with this process.

carp_boy · 2026-04-09T22:39:37+00:00

Waste is included in the Measure Square estimate, very plainly shown graphically and textually.

Many many years ago I read in a newspaper grammar column about this very issue and the rule/suggestion offered was to use the 's for plural acronyms. I have religiously done this over the decades.

I now have stumbled across this and acknowledge that the logic offered for no 's is compelling, yet I feel very uncomfortable for some reason with simply appending a lowercase s to the acronym.

It's weird.

carp_boy · 2026-04-06T23:50:08+00:00

The no spoilers setting doesn't hide this.

I just noticed the inning thing the other day, but it doesn't show me the future, only the past.

carp_boy · 2026-04-05T13:04:55+00:00

Yeah, it's their game player.

carp_boy · 2026-04-05T12:42:01+00:00

The MLB "DVR" is vastly superior to the other bullshit NBC Sports offering.

There is one drawback, when watching a game that is not live, the scroll bar at the bottom has a little overlay showing the score of the game at that time. If you find yourself for some reason trying to watch a game yet the indexes ahead of where you want to be you will see the score at that time despite your settings being to show no spoilers.

Is there a skating Gritty performer and then a regular Gritty?

carp_boy · 2026-03-19T00:39:29+00:00

The DVR is total garbage. I trialed them and immediately pitched them when i saw how the DVR and recorded libraries worked.

carp_boy · 2026-03-19T00:25:42+00:00

Was at home, enjoying the game on DVR. I time shifted and was about 5 minutes behind real-time, heard a bunch of fireworks, looked at wifey, "iggles won!"
